Rethink Waste Student Challenge 2023
With the Rething Waste Student Challenge, Wageningen University & Research challenges students to develop a circular biobased solution for a current waste problem.
This could be anything: a business idea that contributes to a world without waste, a prototype of a product made from biomass, or a new technology to efficiently extract high-quality products from biomass residual flows.
The competition offers students the opportunity to have a positive impact on society, expand their knowledge and network and acquire entrepreneurship skills.
